While I have illustrated and described only one preferred embodiment of my device, I realize that it is susceptible of Wide variation and I do not desire to be limited to the precise structure depicted herein.

Having thus descrihed my invention, I claim:

1. Att ching means for music rolls, comprising a body portion adapted to be alt-- tached to an end. of a roll, a plumlit of strips extending therefrom across the face of the roll to a point at which said iollhas reached its normal Width, and a pair of strips alined with margins of said roll and reinforcing the same.

2. Attaching means for mnsie rolls comprising a body portion adapted to he altech-ed to an end oli a roll, and means for evenly ti'il'inting tension acros the face of the roll cin'lsisling; of a plurality of' linin; flooding from sold hooy portion to a point at which said roll has feat-lied its noinnl Width and diverging; across the face of the roll, and a pair of similarly ere tending strips alined with margins of the roll.

Attaching means for music rolls comprising body portion adapted to he atinnea:

tached to an end of a roll, a plinaiili oi. stnips adapted to extend across the face ol. the roll to a line at which the roll of enlistantially full Width and a air of str ps adapted to he alined with margi is of said roll and to reinforce the same to said line said body portion having secured thereto an elastic member of snl'licien length lo permit it to be wrapped around said roll and provided with fastening means adapted both to engage zilih m ans on said body portion to hold the roll when in rapped condition and to engage with a take-up roller when the roll is to he unwrapped.

4;. Attaching: means for music rolls comprising a body portion adapted to he attached to an end of n roll, an elaelzie menihei' secured thereto and adaptd to engage with a take-up roller and by its elasticity to relieve the initial strain upon the roll, and nit-ans for evenly disti'ilaitingi the t ion. li'anrnnilzl'w iheiehy across the i'acn oi the roll c nsis i5 of a plurality of einfoi'ving extending from id. body portion acre 5 the lace oi. the roll. and strips aiined
